Under close coordination with MOWECP and MOSA, this technical guideline on Women and Children’s Rights Protection on Gender-Based Violence in Disaster Situation was developed through a collaborative process that included government, non-government organizations, and civil society, to provide concrete actions that can be undertaken in humanitarian situations. The main purpose of this guideline is to guide government and all elements of society to design, establish, and strengthen coordination mechanisms to prevent and handle cases of gender-based violence during the post-disaster phase of a humanitarian situation, to ensure that the procedures taken are sensitive to, and address, the special needs of survivors in an emergency situation.

In disaster situations, adolescents are vulnerable but they can also be agents of change. Adolescents have dynamic, highly motivated, energetic, creative and innovative characteristics. Based on these characters, adolescents should not only be targets but they can also be utilized as partners in health crisis response. The involvement of adolescents is needed, which includes helping the affected population, assisting in data collection, distribution of aid, volunteering in evacuation etc. In particular, adolescents can support the implementation of the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for adolescent reproductive health in disaster situations (MISP for adolescents).

This handbook provides a detailed guide as to how adolescents can be engaged in health crisis responses to support the implementation of the MISP for adolescents. This includes information on youth involvement, types of activities and time of implementation, experience of youth involvement from other countries, youth networks that already exist in Indonesia as potential partners as well as tools for monitoring and evaluation.

The Government of Indonesia under the framework of the South-South and Triangular Cooperation programme, with technical assistance from UNFPA, will host a training session on "Strategic Partnerships with Muslim Religious Leaders in Family Planning", in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from 23-28 April 2018. 

Indonesia’s Rights-based National Family Planning Strategy (2017-2019) integrates and builds on existing government plans with the objective of accelerating the achievement of national development goals including Indonesia’s FP2020 target. In order to implement this strategy, a road map was developed that outlineseffective, efficient and actionable interventions/activitiesto be implementedover the course of the next three years (2017-2019). This report presents the results of a costing exercise done in early 2017 to estimate resource requirementsfor that road map.
